It all started with her no-holds barred, funny take on putting on makeup whilst drunk which exploded and became viral overnight.

Jenna Mourey aka Jenna Marbles is a self-taught YouTube vlogger who is one of the most popular YouTubers, being viewed at more than billion times.

Her videos feature her two dogs, Kermit, an Italian greyhound and Mr Marbles, (named after a ventriloquist dummy in a Seinfeld episode), a Chihuahua. Her dogs are becoming stars in their own right.

Although her posts are zany and light-hearted, she graduated from Suffolk University in Boston, MA with a bachelors degree. She also has a master’s degree from Boston University in sport psychology and counselling.

A little known fact is that after her Masters in the summer, she was earning her living by bartending, working at a tanning salon and go-go dancing at a nightclub. However, she somehow still managed to fit in time for blogging, showing a hard work ethic.

It is estimated that her net worth is $2.5 m and rising. She has enjoyed her success by moving into her $1.1m Santa Monica town house and shooting videos at this location.

She has more than one billion followers. Some insiders have credited the rise in influencers and YouTube stars popularity due to the fact they are more relatable than real life celebrities who do not seek interaction with fans.

Jenna Marbles’ fans are known to take her life very seriously. When she broke up with her boyfriend Max there was an outcry online, with commenters showcasing genuine worry.

However, as social media has increased, there have been concerns over the effects on health, citing: addiction, mental health issues and fatigue.

However, in 2014, according to GlobalWebIndex, two out of three internet users (65 percent) have watched a vlog, and more than two in five internet users (42 percent) have watched a vlog within the last month.
